Dear readers, friends, loved ones, and new visitors,
As my business grows, I’m always looking for new ways to support that growth, while keeping your privacy concerns my first priority. I aim to handle your information as respectively as possible.
As of February 5th, 2019, I have a shop on my publishing website, an email newsletter, and I also use affiliate links. I have a separate website for my author brand.
Shop
When you purchase something through my online shop, I will save the shipping information that you share with me (including your mailing address and email address). Because my shop uses PayPal for checkout, I do not store any of your billing information, other than the address that you provide. I will never share any of this information with anyone.
Newsletter
When you join my email list, I will send you regular newsletters telling you about my latest release and current promotions, and I will also share early cover reveals, excerpts, and other goodies with you. You may unsubscribe at any time, fully removing your information.
Blog Comments
Any abusive content or comments will be deleted, and the poster may be blocked, both at my discretion.
Social Media
Any abusive comments on Elizabeth Barone social media channels will be deleted, and the offender may be blocked, at my discretion.
Maietta Ink Store
I reserve the right to refuse sale to any individual for any reason.
Affiliate Links
Some of the links I use on my website are Amazon, iTunes, and Kobo affiliate links, meaning if you make a purchase through one of those links, I will receive a small portion of the sale (with no additional charge to you). I do not collect any information through these links. However, the affiliate store tracks how many times my links were clicked on and whether the item was purchased. They also know that the sale came from my website.
How secure is your data?
My email list is securely stored with WordPress. I use Shopify for my store, and any information collected is stored in a secure database. In the event of a data breach, I will notify users as soon as reasonably practical.
If you have any questions or wish to have your information removed from my databases, please email me directly at elizabethbaronebooks@gmail.com.
